Why are you adding a new radix tree?  Use an XArray instead.

Why do you feel the need to poke around in i_pages directly?  Is there
something wrong with find_get_entries()?

I'm not really keen on the idea of random BPF programs being able to poke
at pages in the page cache like this.  From your initial description,
it sounded like all you needed was a list of which pages are present.

Uh.  What on earth made you think this was a good way to use the radix
tree?  And, no, the XArray doesn't change that.

If you don't understand why this is so bad, call xa_dump() on it after
constructing it.  I'll wait.
